Helicoil / Thread Repair Kit - Help Please

[Nick_Johnson]

Morning All,

Currently i’m In the middle of changing the discs and pads on my 986 Boxster and unfortunately one of the caliper retaining bolts on the rear of the car hasn’t got anything to grip on, the threads turned to dust.

I’m after a Helicoil / Thread Repair Kit pretty urgently, I’m located in Essex. Any ideas please??

M12 - 1.5 is what I’m after.

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick

Is it definitely a helicoil/timesert job or can you re tap slightly larger?

Ps - I think machine mart sell Heli coil kits if you have one near you?
